Isaiah 61
1 The Lord GOD’s Spirit is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,
主耶和華的靈在我身上； 因為耶和華用膏膏我， 叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人， 差遣我醫好傷心的人， 報告被擄的得釋放， 被囚的出監牢；
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
報告耶和華的恩年， 和我們上帝報仇的日子； 安慰一切悲哀的人，
3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
賜華冠與錫安悲哀的人，代替灰塵； 喜樂油代替悲哀； 讚美衣代替憂傷之靈； 使他們稱為「公義樹」， 是耶和華所栽的，叫他得榮耀。
4 They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the former devastated places. They will repair the ruined cities that have been devastated for many generations.
他們必修造已久的荒場， 建立先前淒涼之處， 重修歷代荒涼之城。
5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks. Foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
那時，外人必起來牧放你們的羊群； 外邦人必作你們耕種田地的， 修理葡萄園的。
6 But you will be called the LORD’s priests. Men will call you the servants of our God. You will eat the wealth of the nations. You will boast in their glory.
你們倒要稱為耶和華的祭司； 人必稱你們為我們上帝的僕役。 你們必吃用列國的財物， 因得他們的榮耀自誇。
7 Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them.
你們必得加倍的好處，代替所受的羞辱； 分中所得的喜樂，必代替所受的凌辱。 在境內必得加倍的產業； 永遠之樂必歸與你們。
8 “For I, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and iniquity. I will give them their reward in truth and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
因為我－耶和華喜愛公平， 恨惡搶奪和罪孽； 我要憑誠實施行報應， 並要與我的百姓立永約。
9 Their offspring will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which the LORD has blessed.”
他們的後裔必在列國中被人認識； 他們的子孫在眾民中也是如此。 凡看見他們的必認他們是耶和華賜福的後裔。
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
我因耶和華大大歡喜； 我的心靠上帝快樂。 因他以拯救為衣給我穿上， 以公義為袍給我披上， 好像新郎戴上華冠， 又像新婦佩戴妝飾。
11 For as the earth produces its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
田地怎樣使百穀發芽， 園子怎樣使所種的發生， 主耶和華必照樣 使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。
